Who Or What Is Our Security?

Who or what is our security? In other words, what do we need to do to feel safe? To have a good night sleep? Will a guard dog be enough? How about a ten thousand ringgit lock? Grill doors and gates that's as secure as a prison?

Our neighbour's house has been neglected for as long as we have moved in into the neighbourhood. About a year back, the house was sold and renovation started. My wife and I were hopeful..."Ah at last the house will be occupied."

Renovation was slow and it stopped for a few months. In between there were a few months where the house was totally opened (ie all the doors, windows and grills were removed). The first contractor (after the death of his father who was the man behind the company) took his own sweet time to do his job. We were a bit worried that the rain and even thieves would enter our house through the neighbour's wall. Well who wouldn't when we hear of break ins and snatch thieves etc happening a few doors away.

So this week the new neighbour is starting to move in. A few nights in a roll, we see bikes (about 10 of them) parked outside their house. In a way we feel safe because as long as they are people around, the bad hats will not try to do anything...on the other hand...who is the ONE who has been protecting us? Yes. It has been the LORD. There is no greater PROTECTOR except the LORD.

I have the LORD...who am I to fear? HE died and rose again. Death cannot conquer HIM. Grave cannot hold him. HE is risen and HE will come again some day. HE is the ONE who made heaven and earth. HE is the ONE who holds the universe together. That's security. That's assurance.

I don't know about tomorrow,

I just live from day to day

I don't borrow from the sunshine

For it's skies may turn to gray

I don't worry o'er the future

For I know what JESUS said

And today I'll walk beside HIM

For HE knows what is ahead

Many things about tomorrow

I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow

And I know who holds my hand

Blessed Easter everyone !!!
